Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
Jon share this ad of an aspiring music student selling these Dinky toys. This is the closest I want to come to owning an Austin Champ again!

You owned an Austin Champ at one time? If so, what was wrong w/it? (Since you don’t want one again.)
Had one of those red Dinky Toys Jeeps when I was a kid, 60+ years ago!
Craig,
I owned 3 non runners. I saved them from being crushed. Before I bought them in 2010 I contacted the Austin Champ FB guys and asked them about the value. Oh, they said, they are worth far more than the $2000 asking price. So, I pulled the trigger and bought them.
It turned those guys couldn’t have been more wrong. This champs weren’t worth much at all… In the end, I was lucky to find someone who was willing to take them off my hands for what I paid for them.
Here are the pics: http://www.ewillys.com/champs/index.html
They certainly don’t look all that bad. But I know nothing about them. Personal opinion if you were trying to sell them around 2010-2011 markets for projects were poor unless they were priced way under market.
The problem was the guy I bought them from offered to let me keep them where they were until I could find buyers, but then turned around after I bought them and said I needed to moved them soon. Unfortunately, I had no practical way to move them. Again, I was lucky to find someone who would buy them and move them.
